| SiDi | hello | 12:50 |
| SiDi | newz2000: for the start.ubuntu.com, unless we wanna have headaches, there is a simple workaround | 12:50 |
| SiDi | you can just put the size of the text input to 37/38 instead of 40 for when it's a little too big | 12:51 |
| SiDi2 | having wifi trouble :d | 12:54 |
| SiDi2 | newz2000: there alsoo are a few syntax errors in the page | 12:54 |
| SiDi2 | missing / at the end of input and meta | 12:54 |
| SiDi2 | (and yeh, thats dramatical :D) | 12:54 |
| SiDi | Hello | 15:19 |
| newz2000 | hey SiDi | 15:23 |
| newz2000 | Thanks for your work on the start page, I'll give it a try. | 15:23 |
| SiDi | Hello | 15:23 |
| SiDi | Well, if you ask me early enough for karmic, i can code you a page in proper and completely flexible (em-based widths/heights) css, i did it for my portfolio and it really works well. | 15:24 |
| newz2000 | Yes, I've done that too, the problem is never the HTML | 15:25 |
| newz2000 | that is easy | 15:25 |
| newz2000 | the trick is making graphics that work with flexible widths | 15:25 |
| SiDi | the problem here is directly related to the html ;) | 15:25 |
| SiDi | the size element of a text input should almost never be used, as it implicitely fixes an min-width | 15:26 |
| SiDi | which was too large, in our case | 15:26 |
| newz2000 | regarding the xhtml, it is actually finished in the trunk, waiting for translation updates to go live | 15:30 |
| newz2000 | s/finished/fixed | 15:30 |
| SiDi | Hello | 20:01 |
| newz2000 | Salut | 20:04 |
| SiDi | Salut newz2000 , ça va ? :P | 20:11 |
| * newz2000 took three years of French in school and now can only say "hello" and count to 10 | 20:11 | |
| SiDi | hehe :) | 20:11 |
| newz2000 | use it or lose it they say | 20:11 |
| SiDi | Exactly | 20:12 |
| SiDi | and i'm losing my spanish little by little | 20:12 |
| SiDi | (which sucks, for someone of spanish origin :P) | 20:12 |
| SiDi | UDS will be a good training ! :) | 20:12 |
| newz2000 | yeah | 20:12 |
| newz2000 | I won't be there for UDS but will a week prior for canonical meetings | 20:12 |
| SiDi | i will *try* to be there | 20:12 |
| newz2000 | SiDi: where are you located currently? | 20:13 |
| SiDi | still have to convince a few persons that my networks orals can be postponed at uni | 20:13 |
| SiDi | south of france | 20:13 |
| SiDi | it's my last year there, and i've got family in barcelona, so i dont wanna lose my chance to go there this year | 20:13 |
| newz2000 | you're not too far | 20:14 |
| newz2000 | it would be a shame not to go | 20:14 |
| newz2000 | but a degree is important. :-) | 20:14 |
| SiDi | Well, if they weren't so badly organised... i still don't know when i'll have my exams :D | 20:14 |
| gata | a noob here needs help plz | 20:27 |
| gata | i want to use my machine as an ftp server so dat friends can access from anywhere | 20:28 |
| gata | i have ubuntu intrepid installed | 20:28 |
| newz2000 | gata: plz is spelled "please" and instead of "dat" you should say "that" | 20:28 |
| newz2000 | If you want to help with this website, this is the right channel. | 20:28 |
| gata | ok thanks | 20:29 |
| gata | news2000, thanks, i appreciate | 20:29 |
| gata | i have vsftpd installed. but i do not know how to configure my machine to make it accessible through the internet by my friends | 20:30 |
| newz2000 | gata: what part of the world are you in? | 20:30 |
| SiDi | we can assume your machine is configured. can you login from localhost ? | 20:30 |
| gata | i will appreciate a kind of step-by-step guide to do this | 20:31 |
| newz2000 | gata: that is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer | 20:31 |
| newz2000 | but you may have better luck with a local user group | 20:31 |
| newz2000 | getting it set up is not too hard, getting to it from outside your own network is challenging | 20:31 |
| gata | Sidi: yes i can | 20:31 |
| SiDi | and not from outside ? | 20:32 |
| SiDi | and just like that, did you configure your router to redirect port 22 tcp traffic to your computer ? | 20:32 |
| gata | that's what i do not know how to do | 20:32 |
| SiDi | We can barely help you on that. | 20:34 |
| SiDi | Unless you have exactly the same ISP as me :D | 20:34 |
| newz2000 | right, thats why I asked where you're located gata | 20:34 |
| newz2000 | I'd get in touch with a local user group or a loco team | 20:34 |
| newz2000 | probably someone close to you has already done it | 20:35 |
| gata | dublin | 20:35 |
| newz2000 | you're in luck | 20:36 |
| gata | really? how? when? | 20:36 |
| newz2000 | (wiki is moving slow, just a sec) | 20:36 |
| jpds | "dublin.eircom.net] has joined #ubuntu-website" | 20:36 |
| newz2000 | http://www.ubuntu-ie.org/ | 20:36 |
| newz2000 | gata: ^ | 20:37 |
| newz2000 | they have forums, an email list and even an IRC channel | 20:37 |
| jpds | And also; #ubuntu-ie and #ubuntu-server can help too. | 20:37 |
| newz2000 | Every time I see that animated banner I think that this team is so awesome. | 20:38 |
| gata | newz2000, jpds: thanks a million, i appreciate. i will try now. i have been on this for over 6hours | 20:38 |
| newz2000 | gata: if that fails (ftp is especially challenging) | 20:38 |
| newz2000 | look into the web dav module for apache 2 | 20:38 |
| newz2000 | it can do the same thing and may be easier to pass through the firewall | 20:38 |
| newz2000 | (but you do stil have to contend with the firewall) | 20:39 |
| gata | ok. i will try ftp first. if that fails, i will try apache | 20:40 |
| SiDi | hm ftp active mode doesnt support NAT static traversal, right ? | 20:41 |
| newz2000 | I think you have to use pasv mode | 20:42 |
| SiDi | yeh, at least for the connection part | 20:42 |
| newz2000 | it may work OK if the ftp server is behind the nat though | 20:43 |
| SiDi | i'll have to try that one day, to check out how it works | 20:44 |
| newz2000 | I gave up on FTP a while ago | 20:44 |
| newz2000 | webdav is better, sftp is better yet | 20:45 |
| SiDi | i used to use sftp, too | 20:46 |
| SiDi | anyways if i want a file to be downloadable from the outside, i put it on the apache serv | 20:46 |
| newz2000 | I actually did have a problem the other day where I was trying to share a 2.8GB file with someone | 20:47 |
| newz2000 | my apache is only 32b so it wouldn't serve the file | 20:47 |
| SiDi | what's the limit, exactly ? | 20:48 |
| newz2000 | 2GB for 32b apache | 20:48 |
| newz2000 | apparently | 20:48 |
